The standard 2.4-liter four-cylinder engine with front-wheel drive and a 6-speed automatic transmission gets an impressive 23 mpg combined (20/28). The optional 3.6-liter V6 has more muscle and is expected to get 20 miles per gallon combined.

The L comes with a long list of standard features, including automatic headlights, a partial power driver seat, a sliding and reclining 60/40-split second-row seat, a trip computer, Blueooth phone (not audio) a rearview camera, and OnStar communications.
